Tim Wilkin and Mike Jarboe each was given a mythical $2,000 to spend as he sees fit during the Saratoga season.

Tim Wilkin

Oh, about every day up here, Rollo sits back, puts on his Disney bathrobe and begins to regale the press box with his tall tales. Sunday, it was about the day he was an extra in the movie "Major League." "Was right behind home plate," Rollo said, "Waving to the camera." And he talked about his many successful jumps out of an airplane while parachuting. Did I miss when I said he was a secret service agent during the Carter administration? Rollo has done it all. He promises that on Monday he will bring in his prom pictures with Raquel Welch from back in the day. Oh, the way, after Rollo told his tall tales, his nose smashed through the press box window. He was sitting 15 feet away. For today, $4 exacta box Buckeye Heart/Attractive Ride/Dan's Gold; $10 across the board Spa City Treasure (9th). I am on a budget now.

Total bets: $54.

Sunday's results: Had a chance to get back in the game, but Rollo's luck continues. All Cash (7-1) would have been a solid hit with a $20 win play but got nosed out. First two legs of Pick 3 in races 8-10 and then got beat in Saratoga Special. Nose dive continues but will never quit.

Losses: $175

Bankroll: $684.50

Mike Jarboe

Tim Wilkin: well-known patron of the arts. Deputy Press Box Sheriff Lily Pierce's parents were up visiting the other day and mentioned to Wilkin that they had tickets to see "Book of Mormon." Blank expression from Timmy. "What's that?" he said. He should be starring in a musical called "Book of Moron: Wilkin's Annual Saratoga Tale of Woe." Can see Smilin' Jack Knowlton playing trombone in the orchestra pit. $5 pick 3, first race, Silver Morgan/ALL/ Chairman Now, Wealth to Me. $2 pick 3, Deadicated Deal/ALL/with the same two. $30 win and place on Rontos New York, fourth. $10 across the board, Gentrify, sixth.

Total bets: $178

Sunday's results: Pfffft. Bad all over. Wilkin did well in the picks box and had a couple horrible beats that would have made this a contest again. Lately it's been a war of attrition.

Will Wilkin's bankroll have Jarboe fiddling the blues? Or will Jarboe's picks leave Tim asking himself questions?
